We have a number of interests including bluegrass, old-time folk, and mariachi music. Raymond sings in the choir at the First Presbyterian Church in Oxnard, plays the violin and viola. Brenda plays rhythm guitar, hammered dulcimer and is learning violin. We also enjoy contra dancing, the best and most fun aerobic exercise one can get! (Well, ok, that was a biased comment from one who often avoids healthy exercise.) We currently play in Mariachi Costa de Oro and perform in the Greater Oxnard, Ventura, and Santa Barbara areas.

We enjoy a fun and exciting cottage industry and produce unique note and greeting cards out of our home. We have been involved in the note card business since 1999. In 2001 we decided to branch out with a new craft in order to stretch our creative talents. We purchased a commercial-grade embroidery machine along with embroidery software that allows us to create our own designs. You may view our creations on our website: www.crispincraft.com

We are a husband and wife team and we share the thrill and responsibilities of running our own home-based business. We enjoy offering original art work along with careful customer service. Each customer is unique and special and we enjoy the freedom to treat them as such. We take our booth to craft fairs and festivals and always enjoy meeeting people and sharing a good chat.

We enjoy membership in the Rotary Club of Oxnard Sunrise which provides us the opportunity to share our good fortune and give back to the local and international communites.

Brenda recently retired after an exciting career at the Oxnard Public Library where she served as an adult and childrens' reference librarian with a specialization in Oxnard history.

We live in Oxnard, California, with two very special friends
